(...) I just posted several close-up shots of my castle, including a couple of "fig's-eye views." (I've never seen such a humongous 1x2 brick!) The new shots also show a few architectural details and also the drawgate mechanism. I'm not sure why, (...) (25 years ago, 30-Mar-00, to lugnet.org.us.nelug, lugnet.castle)

(...) Impressive. Most impressive. You have quite a large structure there. What made you decide to use the large baseplate rather than smaller hinged sections? Or do you have a lifting roof for interior access? Cool! Aaron maniac@vol.com (25 years ago, 30-Mar-00, to lugnet.org.us.nelug, lugnet.castle)
